1 Odisha Vikash Gazette 2016 ODISHA VIKASH CONCLAVE2016 CHALLENGES OPPORTUNITIES WAY FORWARD

2 Odisha Vikash Gazette Preface Poverty, social exclusion and high levels of inequality and inequity affect the state of Odisha almost endemically. An integrated approach to meeting development challenges in the state seems best-suited to address the need of the hour. In the above context, a three-day Odisha Vikash Conclave was organized during September 2016 with the objectives of having a dialogue on development challenges, working out a common agenda to strategically address those challenges and creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration and synergy among the government, civil society organizations, corporate houses, research institutions and development practitioners. The OVC witnessed strong participation from the Union and state ministers, bureaucrats, corporate leaders, intellectuals, CSOs and other development practitioners. The Conclave projected a comprehensive development perspective and through 11 dedicated thematic sessions, focused on challenges related to tribal development, employment and livelihoods, financial inclusion, rain-fed agriculture, climate change, water, sanitation and hygiene, food and nutrition security, education, health, governance and sustainable development partnerships. It created an environment for public debate and informed discourse around Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 for Odisha. It helped in articulating a transformative development agenda for the state and a clear roadmap to move forward through an effective collaborative framework. The joint effort by several like minded development organizations made the Conclave unique of its kind. This report attempts to capture seminal discussions in the OVC and present critical policy asks for possible action while identifying the key stakeholder groups to help chart out the next steps. This document is expected to help the government, corporate sector and CSOs to drive a focused development agenda for Odisha.

6 Odisha Vikash Gazette 01 Background Odisha is endowed with vast natural resources, rich cultural heritage and greater political stability. A host of programmes and schemes have been implemented in recent past to address the issues of the poor and vulnerable communities in the state. The state has witnessed economic growth rate of more than 6% in last few years. However, 32.6% of the population in Odisha still lives below poverty line. The social class and region wise estimates of poverty head count ratio indicate the severe imbalance that exists between social classes and regions. About 63.52% Scheduled Tribes (STs) and 41.39% Scheduled Caste (SC) people in rural Odisha still live below poverty line. The steady economic growth has so far not been able to bring the desired transformation in the society at large. Odisha continues to lag in major economic and human development indicators. ODISHA VIKASH CONCLAVE2016 CHALLENGES OPPORTUNITIES WAY FORWARD TheOdishaVikashConclave2016 The development challenges in Odisha pose a many hands problem and need a multi stakeholder approach. But the government, civil society, development organizations and the private sectors operate in isolation from each other with their own priorities and agenda. There is an urgent need to build synergy among all players for inclusive growth and development of the State. Besides, the recent structural shift in the Centre-state fiscal management is being seen as a critical phase for the states to reprioritize their development agenda. Though the Centre has increased the tax devolution to states, the fund sharing of the union government in a host of social sector schemes have been reduced. On the other hand, the planning system in the Country is being fundamentally restructured with the NITI Aayog (the erstwhile Planning Commission)leading the planning process. The 12th Five Year Plan will be the last Five Year Plan and beginning with , there will be a 15-year vision (vision 2032) for the country and 7-year strategic plans with 3-year concrete action plans. The distinction between Plan and Non-plan spending will also be abolished from and specific planning initiatives like the Schedule Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) will be integrated into the new planning process. This shift indicates that the states should take a proactive role in setting their own development priorities. Given such a situation, the Odisha Vikash Conclave-2016 (OVC) was organized to create an opportunity for meaningful collaboration and synergy between government, CSOs, corporate, research institutions and donors.

7 Background 02 Objectives To create a platform for multiple stakeholders like government, civil society, academia, research institutes and private sector to generate understanding on development challenges in Odisha; To provide the government (State and Centre) with grassroots perspective and feedback from the ground; To prepare a roadmap for the State in harmony with globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with identified issues, targets/indicators and time frame; To build synergy between the Government, CSOs, academia, research institutes and private sector for convergence and multi-stakeholder collaboration; and To develop inter-sectoral focused groups to take forward specific action agenda in line with the agreed roadmap.

8 ContextSetting Odisha Vikash Gazette 03 Shri Jagadananda, Mentor and Co-founder of CYSD, said that the Conclave is a unique gathering of the Govt. officials, people, civil society practitioners, public and the private sector. The key objective is to identify development deficits in Odisha, as we see now and lay out a distinctive roadmap in the social development arena of the State, he said. It is also a unique opportunity to establish a connection between development practitioners, policy makers, corporate and development leaders, he added. Informing that each thematic sector is being led by the organizations specializing in the sector, he highlighted the key objectives as: The Conclave was designed as a space where development practitioners can collectively reflect and connect with others as building synergy requires many hands approach; It will deliberate on grassroots perspectives and struggles, and indigenous ways of finding solutions. It's an opportunity for people who have spent a large part of their lives for a cause to share their experiences and good practices; It will reflect on building bridges, learn the art of relating to each other and find a new way of perspective building. He expressed that the Conclave would give a new direction to Odisha's development agenda, create synergy and explore new possibilities. OVC is not a one odd event, but a journey where participants would not only identify gaps but also embark on a journey of positive synergy building, he noted. Development organizations, practitioners and researchers will come forward to re-engineer Odisha's development model so that we are able to deal with challenges collectively, he observed.

ConcludingRemarks Emphasizing upon efficiency and effectiveness of the system, the panelists said that the primary stumbling block to equity is corruption and subversion of the system which needs to be addressed. They highlighted the key issues in various sectors that need to be specifically addressed such as water security and that 80% of people in productive group in Odisha are unskilled. Competition, contestations and conflict among water endangers water security and consequently endangers nutrition, health and food security, they said. They also urged the common citizens to raise concern over issues that affect them. The panelists also underlined the importance of collective capacity building where traditional knowledge can be built in. They pointed out the need for improvement in accountability, agency, access and resources.

Introducing the Odisha Vikash Conclave 2016 to the guests, Shri Jagadananda, the Convener said that the initiative is a unique opportunity to build synergy between development practitioners, policy makers, corporate and thought leaders. He said that the inputs of this collaboration will help in re-engineering Odisha's development model to be able to deal with challenges related to tribals, water, sanitation, livelihood, governance, education, agriculture, natural disaster etc. He expressed that, the OVC would stimulate public debate and create an informed discourse around Sustainable Development Agenda 2030 for Odisha, towards addressing the development challenges and build an effective collaborative framework to reach the SDGs. The Conclave will explore alternative possibilities; suggest a possible roadmap where Odisha's development can be faster particularly for people in the disadvantaged districts and tribal areas. It will identify key issues and suggest policy options for both the State and the Centre, he said. The civil society and the people have legitimate right to question the govt. action; provide constructive feedback and also suggest ways to improve.

15 Inauguration 10 He expressed happiness that people from far flung districts like Mayurbhanj, Malkangiri and Sundargarh associated with development are a part of the Conclave which is the beginning of a new development journey for the State. Speaking on the 11 multiple tracks to be deliberated upon, he said that social development is bedrock of infrastructure development. If social development sector is not given a fillip, then all efforts will not bear the desired results. It is important to stop working in silos and build new bridges to hasten the process of development. The Conclave will discuss primarily on - how to advance social sector development, enhance social sector spending and reach the last mile in the State, he explained. He concluded by saying that the desired model of development should be based on a sustainable development framework which is carved out strongly between the State and its people, between the State and Central Govt. and with active participation of the civil societies and the corporate sector. Besides critical recommendations, a transformative Odisha Development Report is one of the strategic follow up agenda of the OVC, he noted. Address by Guest of Honour, Shri Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak, Minister, Health & Family Welfare and Information & Public Relations, Govt. of Odisha Shri Atanu Sabyasachi Nayak said that the key challenges must be identified and necessary steps should be taken accordingly. There are certain key areas in which Odisha has not been able to reach the milestones, he said, adding that the Conclave is a momentous event to discuss such issues on which we are at the crossroads. He also highlighted the need for adequate resources in key sectors like education, health and agriculture. Although the State has progressed in certain areas in health like decreasing IMR and MMR, it still has a long way to go. Underlining the importance of convergence and integration, the Minister said that it is critical to avoid duplication of efforts while achieving development objectives. He concluded by highlighting the role of civil societies, NGOs and that of the corporate sector, especially in the backward regions of the State.

16 Address by Guest of Honour, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister, Petroleum & Natural Gas, Govt. of India Odisha Vikash Gazette 11 Congratulating the organizers of the OVC, Shri Pradhan said that the development challenges in Odisha need to be debated and discussed to find solutions. The good development models and best practices also need to be galvanized from across the country, he pointed out. He also welcomed certain key improvements in Odisha which he said augurs well for development. The Odisha Skill Development Mission led by Shri Subroto Bagchi is a commendable step, he said. The State can become a front runner if it is able to successfully link skill with entrepreneurship. Speaking on the 14th Finance Commission, the Minister said that the main objective of the recommendations were to provide autonomy to states to decide where the funds are to be allocated. The Centre should not decide in which areas and districts the funds are to be allocated, rather it is for the states to prioritize the same. The state has the right to demand budget from the Centre provided the funds are expended as planned. He said that the additional resources Odisha receives through various other sources such as from the auction of mines and coal, CAMPA Fund and District Mineral Fund offers a good opportunity for faster development of the State. The Union Minister said that the development model should be based on sustainable development rather than relief-centric. The state should play a role to empower people rather than making them dependent on it, he noted. The development models should not be thrust upon people from the top but built from the roots so that people become self-reliant, he added. He requested the Niti Aayog Vice-Chairman to organize similar interface with civil society organizations at the Centre to prepare a roadmap of sustainable development. He also urged the organizers to make the Conclave an annual affair and institutionalize the process. Address by the Chief Guest, Shri Arvind Panagariya, Vice-Chairman, NITI Aayog, Govt. of India The Niti Aayog Vice-Chairman highlighted the increasing role of the State in development. He said that gone are the days when the State Govt. used to look up to the Central Govt. for funds and guidance. Now state level priorities have been recognized and states have taken the charge of steering their own development process, he pointed out. Speaking on the 14th Finance Commission recommendations on devolution of sharable funds between the State and the Centre, he said that it is the spirit of cooperative federalism that has fostered the replacement of the Planning Commission with the Niti Aayog. The discourse between the Niti Aayog and the states is different now. Creation and promotion of new ideas, study of successful experiments and its diffusion to other states are among the practices which are being followed at the Niti Aayog now, he informed. Stating that the Niti Aayog brings the states and the Centre as part of a single platform, he said that the Governing Board now consists of State Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors of the Union Territories.

17 Inauguration 12 Appreciating the initiative of OVC, Shri Panagariya assured that the Niti Aayog would welcome the recommendations from the Conclave. Emphasizing upon a growth related development he said that unless and until the economy grows, it will be difficult to allocate funds required for key social development sectors like health, education etc. Defining it as the backbone of all programmes, he said that growth enhances wages and income of people and in turn enhances their access to public facilities. Thus, true empowerment of people can be achieved only when their income level increases. However, he cautioned that growth should not be for the sake of growth and should have the ability to create employment opportunities for the people. According to him, poverty levels in Odisha are far lower today. Poverty rate decreased from 58% in to 33% in which is a substantial progress and it has been seen across sectors. Giving a comparative picture between the agricultural and industrial sectors in Odisha, he said that while the share of agriculture was 18.7% of GSDP in , it employed 56% people; but on the other hand, the industry's share in the GSDP was 33% using only 11% of the workforce. It is a national problem which the corporate leaders need to think of as to not just making industries capital intensive but also labour intensive, he advised. Giving examples of other countries that had eliminated poverty without any anti-poverty programmes by specializing in labour-intensive industry and by exporting such products, he said that Odisha too must start focusing on food processing, clothing, electronic industries that will provide transition from agriculture to other sectors. It is critical to create jobs in alternative employment sectors. Shri Panagariya said that it was time to concentrate efforts on important programmes rather too many different programmes which dilute the resources, focus and impact. He concluded by underlining the importance of employment generating growth and education. Education and growth are self reinforcing; he said adding that people should be empowered with education and income. If roads, electricity and sanitation facilities are provided to people, they are smart enough to figure out what to do, he opined. Concluding Remarks & Vote of Thanks: Dr. Tapan Kumar Chand, CMD, NALCO & Vice Chairman, CII (Odisha Chapter) Dr. Tapan Kumar Chand thanked the guests, panelists and other speakers of the Inaugural Session. He said that the Conclave offers an opportune platform for the civil society, government and the corporate to come together to collectively reflect on a sustainable model of development.

18 OpenSession Odisha Vikash Gazette 13 KeyConcernsraisedbyAudience When important development schemes like BRGF are discontinued by the Central Govt. how can backward regions develop The CAMPA Act and the funds there in seem to give more authority to the Forest Dept. rather than the tribal communities. Odisha cannot be treated at par with other developed states like Gujarat and Maharashtra, it needs high plan allocation in plan fund and special category status. The definition of 'development' has several connotations. It is critical to analyze if the development is inclusive or just benefits creamy layers of the society. Growth through just labour intensive interventions without addressing the basic necessities is not sustainable. ResponsefromtheGuests The per capita income was very less in the 1960s which has gradually increased. The whole process of growth is that of creating wealth which should be related to employment and enhancing income of the poor. States have been getting more funds now as total transfers to the state are larger. The non-plan grants have also increased. The delivery system is a big problem in India. But no single govt. can monitor and everybody has a role. It's high time the programmes are taken seriously and goal posts are considered. Odisha has a lot of potential along the coastline which could be explored. All industry bodies have to rethink on the issue of employment. Creation of jobs and employment should be incorporated in the agenda. Not just skill development but coupling skill with entrepreneurship development is required.

20 Odisha Vikash Gazette 15 TheBackdrop TribalEmpowerment anddevelopment Tribal people have the lowest Human Development Index (HDI) and face geographical, cultural and social exclusion. Food insecurity, poor nutrition, lack of sanitation and potable water and high poverty levels aggravate their poor health status. Forced and distress migration is common to many communities but it has of late been high in certain tribal pockets of the State. The quality of governance is an extremely critical input in development. The level of administration of Scheduled and other tribal areas has to be raised expeditiously to match the challenges. While many organizations have done commendable work in tribal development, it is an area which still suffers from gross neglect. The day long discussion was dedicated to identification of key issues affecting the tribal population. The participants were divided in into groups and discussed on focus areas to provide specific recommendations. Representatives from tribal communities of 15 districts, NGOs, researchers, activists provided feedback and shared their experience.

21 Parallel Theme Sessions 16 Three OVC theme sessions were held on this track: Tribal Land Rights and FRA; Forest based Livelihood; and Tribal Administration, chaired respectively by Dr. A B Ota, IAS, RDC, Central Division-cum-Director of SCSTRTI, Ms. Vidhya Das, tribal rights activist and Fr. Nicolas Barla, President, Indigenous Peoples' Forum. Distinguished panelists included Dr. Aurobindo Behera, IAS, (Retd).Former Member, Board of Revenue; Shri Pradip Prabhu, noted tribal land rights activist; Ms. Madhu Sarin, President, Executive Committee, Vasundhara; Dr. Arvind Khare; Shri John Samuel, noted policy researcher; Shri Sushanta Nanda, Managing Director, TDCCOL; Shri Srinivas Iyer, Ford Foundation; Shri Parimal Singh, IAS, Deputy Secretary to the Governor of Maharashtra; and Shri Sisira Kanta Pradhan, Odisha Livelihood Mission. & Issues Concerns TribalLandRightsandFRA The FRA has the potential to secure land and community forest rights of about 25 million people in Odisha including almost 8 million tribals living in 35,254 villages. Gaps in the implementation of FRA need to be identified through research and bridged. Tribal development is not about 'mainstreaming' tribals. They need to be given autonomy and powers to determine the development they want and helped to achieve it. Along with land rights, they must have right to their language, heritage and culture and the right to develop according to their own genius. Their unique culture must be protected and conserved, which can play a role in enhancing their livelihoods.

22 Odisha Vikash Gazette 17 ForestbasedLivelihoods Tribes follow many occupations (mostly primary occupations like gathering and agriculture) and use simple technology. These technologies need to be improved in culturally appropriate ways to increase productivity. Since processing and marketing are complicated and risky tasks for small tribal communities, the government should consider taking up such support initiatives at various levels. More than 50 million tribal people in India depend on NTFP for food, shelter, medicine, cash income, etc. Research is required to understand and improve processing, pricing and marketing of NTFPs with higher market potentials (e.g. lac, Sal seed oil, etc.). Upland agriculture and livestock farming are areas to focus with appropriate skill development and enterprise promotion, credit and Infrastructure support initiatives. TribalDevelopmentAdministration ITDA needs to go through a major make over and coordinate across all departments/agencies for convergence in planning and implementation of all schemes relevant to tribals. ITDA should play a major role in monitoring, supervising and evaluating programme implementation. There is the need for an integrated database for sector-wise analysis and identification of gaps as well as correction measures. All schemes/plans should be sensitive to tribal values and culture. In PESA areas, the Governor has the task of ensuring 'peace and good governance' with powers over the legislature and executive. As illustrated through a case study from the Govt. of Maharashtra, the Governor's powers can be used to support tribal development. The PESA Act is well-meaning, but its implementation in Odisha needs to have the right approach. Turning a New Leaf Centre for Youth and Social Development (CYSD), has been involved in promotion and regeneration of village forest areas in a number of villages of Koraput district, Odisha. The initiatives focus on innovations for conservation of community forest resources, coupled with the traditional knowledge of the region's tribal people and voluntarism coming from within the community as well as development of leadership in the communities. The result is a recovered forest cover, assured food from these village common hill forests besides NTFP and an active village life. The case study captures the forest regenaration and protection work in Koijhankar village of Koraput. CYSD:

23 Parallel Theme Sessions 18 olic PASKS Tribal Empowerment and Development There is need to promulgate a comprehensive State Tribal Policy in Odisha along with necessary amendment in the ITDA Rules. About one third of the tribal population lives in a dispersed manner in non-tsp areas, which should also be addressed in the development programmes. Allocation of TSP funds to Gram Sabha needs to be operationalized. A system should be set up to publish Tribal Development Report annually identifying sectoral gaps and suggesting corrective measures with clear accountability and timeline. All developmental, industrial and infrastructural projects in tribal areas must be undertaken with prior-informed consent of Gram Sabhas concerned. Policy for implementation of MSP mechanism for NTFPs needs to be laid out. Infrastructure and skill development, working capital and marketing support is to be promoted for processing and value addition of MFPs in tribal districts. To that purpose, the State policy should provide for necessary convergent planning. State Government should take proactive steps to inform Gram Sabhas on their rights under the FRA, PESA, OSATIP regulations and secure these rights. A 'Tribal Cell' should be constituted in the office of the Governor.The related good practices of Govt. of Maharashtra should be adapted to the Odisha context. An FRA Cell should be set up at the ST & SC Development Department for State-wide oversight. Claims should be expressly settled under the FRA. Demarcation/Correction of RoR including recognition of community rights and conversion of forest villages into revenue villages should be actively pursued. Special awareness drive and training programs on FRA for the Gram Sabha, FRCs, SDLCs and DLCs should be launched in collaboration with CSOs. Successful initiatives and recognition of CFR in all tribal districts should be upscaled by setting up dedicated FRA Cells at the DLCs in collaboration with CSOs. Funds under Article 275/1 should be used for filling critical gaps in health financing in tribal areas. Forest as a food producing habitat The alarming expansion of large-scale industrial production systems in tropical regions threatens the contribution of forests and tree based agriculture systems to food security, diets and nutrition. Despite this, the role of forests in supporting human food security and nutrition remain largely under-researched and understood. With food security and nutrition high on the agenda in many political and scientific spheres, it is crucial to understand the contribution of forests and trees to a food secure and nutrition sensitive future. The case study presents the findings of a study conducted by Living Farms in the tribal districts of Rayagada and Sundargarh to understand the issues around collection and consumption of forest foods and the extent of dependence of local communities on such food for their food and nutritional security. Living Farms:

24 Odisha Vikash Gazette 19 TheBackdrop Foodand NutritionSecurity The prevalence of stunting and wasting among the under-5 children is 38.2% and 18%, respectively (RSOC ). As many as 62% of women and 65% children are anaemic and chronically energy deficient. Stunting among the tribal and Other Backward Caste (OBC) Children is 46.1% and 41.3% respectively. The reported deaths of 19 Juanga (Primitive tribal group) children due to malnutrition in Nagada and Naliadab villages of Jajpur District in the month of July 2016 raises serious questions on policy and program delivery effectiveness, governance situation, institutional synergy and convergence and public accountability. There might not be a food famine, but it seems that a nutrition famine engulfs the marginalized communities and compounds vulnerability of the state which also reels under poverty and repetitive occurrences of natural disasters. However, endowed with natural and human resources, Odisha can emerge as a developed state and a global nutrition pioneer. With investments in food and nutrition related initiatives, the State can remove the age-old poverty and backwardness tag that has plagued it for decades. Odisha is one of the first States to establish 'State Food Commision' for monitoring and reviewingthe implementation of the National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013 Act. Besides,many centrally sponsored nutrition specific interventions like the revamped Prime Minister's Nutrition Council, National Nutrition Mission, mandatory food fortification, special programmes on maternity benefit, adolescent girl, deworming etc. provide opportunities to the State government to improve nutritional status of children and women. But, Odisha's nutrition policy and action needs a paradigm shift for achieving the SDG on hunger and malnutrition by 2030.

25 Parallel Theme Sessions 20 Two OVC sessions grappled with the emerging issues and concerns. The first session broadly touched upon the pathways towards a sustainable food and nutritional security and highlighted institutional gaps in public services delivery. The second session largely deliberated on evidence and impacts of various innovative field practices and touched upon certain grey areas of nutrition specific and sensitive interventions of the State. The sessions were chaired by Shri Ranglal Jamuda, Chairperson and Dr Sipra Mallick, Member, Odisha State Food Commission. Distinguished speakers included Shri Vishal Kumar Dev, Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Department of W&CD, Government of Odisha; Dr.Alok Ranjan, Senior Programme Officer, BMGF; Shri Biraj Patnaik, Advisor, Supreme Court Commission on Right to Food; Shri Basanta Kar, Senior Advisor, The Food and Nutrition Coalition; Ms. Yumi Bae, Chief of Odisha State office, UNICEF; Shri Bal Paritosh Dash from the WFP; Shri Gangadhar Sahoo, State Nodal & Issues Concerns PathwaystowardsSustainableFoodandNutritionSecurity Officer, MDM; Shri Debjit Sarangi, Living Farms; Shri Raj Kishore Mishra, Right to Food Campaign, Odisha; Shri Akshaya Kumar Panda, MSSRF; Shri Suryamani Roul, Techno Serve India; and Shri Subrat Dutta, Country Coordinator, Food Fortification Initiative (FFI). Union and State government departments need work with other stakeholders on World Health Assembly (WHA) targets to achieve SDG target 2.1 and 2.2. Child's nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life must be stressed focusing on the period between the 6th-23rd month. Though the decline in stunting rate in Odisha is 15.1% (19.9 % for SCs and 19.4 % for STs) in last 8 years, it is not rapid enough for the WHA target (40 % reduction in 10 years). Anaemia of children and mothers is poorly tracked due to absence of blood tests for hemoglobin. ANMs are neither trained nor provided with equipment for the test. PVTGs need to have Antyodaya Cards. The issue of their not having identification cards must be sorted out, especially when they live outside the defined village/project area. Nutrition must be at the heart of development planning and implementation. This demands convergence among government departments, CSOs and corporate agencies. A nutrition-based approach to budgeting would be very useful. Collecting and monitoring nutrition data is critical. Loss in adult height by 1 % due to stunting results in a 1.4 %productivity loss. Stunting reduces IQ by 5-11 points. Eliminating anaemia results in 5-17 % increase in adult productivity.

26 Odisha Vikash Gazette 21 LearningfromEvidencestowardsaZeroHungerOdisha Several good practices were discussed lessons from which can be replicated to work towards a Zero- Hunger Odisha: Hunger Mapping in Odisha supported by WFP Positive Impact of the MDM programme on school learning and cognitive development of children. Community-based sustainable agricultural practices (a combination of farm-grown crops, kitchen gardens and gathering from the forest) implemented by Living Farms to enhance food security among Kondh households. Community-based social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) for nutrition in Bihar. Effectiveness of the IT-enabled PDS system to improve food outreach under the NFSA. Positive impact of community nutrition awareness under the LANSA project of MSSRF at Jeypore. Smart agriculture practices and food sufficiency among small holder farmers as supported by Techno Serve India. The important role of micronutrients in fortified foods in addressing anaemia and sickle cell anaemia in Odisha as evidenced by Food Fortification Initiative (FFI).

27 Parallel Theme Sessions 22 olic PASKS Food and Nutrition Security A State Nutrition Policy should be adopted covering principles, strategy and a menu of programme components for nutrition security of different groups, i.e. children, mothers, old, disabled people, etc. AWCs need to be converted into daylong crèches: Besides incentivizing attendance by the under-3 cohort to attend AWCs, this will support the right to education of the older siblings and the right to work of parents. A comprehensive Nutrition Mission to be to set up to address emerging issues relating to health and nutrition. Climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive agriculture should be promoted to address protein hunger and dietary diversity including: A diverse crop menu along with incentives to Farmer Producers' Organizations and necessary extension support. Promotion of millet with necessary input, extension support and MSP for millet with twice the procurement price of rice. Kitchen gardens through a cluster development approach. A ration card portability system should be institutionalized to support vulnerable communities like PVTGs, who are deprived of their food and nutrition entitlement due to nonportability of ration cards when they live outside the village/project area as defined by the government. The State Food Commission should be empowered to implement NFSA effectively in collaboration with government departments, local governments and community institutions. A comprehensive food and nutrition Surveillance system should be established with following provisions: Prepare/maintain a baseline on food and nutrition security for all social, population and age groups with an emphasis on vulnerability and social exclusion Set measurable targets in line with WHA and SDG targets. Develop and implement a protocol for quick response in vulnerable hotspots. Publish annual State Food and Nutrition Report with district and block ranking on key indicators. Service protocol of community based management of acute malnutrition should be adopted vesting primary responsibility with AWCs, making adequate resource provision and involving community and civil society organizations. Bio-fortified crops should be promoted by establishing a Bio-Fortification Mission and Bio-safety Authority. A Convergence strategy for departments concerned with food, nutrition, health and livelihoods should be implemented to ensure sustainable food and nutrition security in the State. Apart from the government departments, CSOs and corporate organizations should also be part of this strategy. A well-spelt-out nutrition agenda should be included in planning, monitoring and implementation at local level: Sensitize the Gram/Ward Sabhas on nutrition issues, help develop a local nutrition agenda and integrate in local planning and monitoring by the PRIs/ULBs; Promote social audit to monitor access to PDS and government action plan involving other schemes/programmes supporting food security. Promote replication of innovations like Grain bank by Agragamee, Chhattisgarh's Phulwari (AWC-cum-crèche) model, etc. Nutrition Budgeting should be institutionalized to help track allocation and expenditure on various aspects of nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific interventions, which is not possible under the existing budget framework. Nutrition Behavior Change should be emphasized through capacity building, communication campaign and advocacy (e.g. the Bihar experience of SBCC for nutrition).

28 Odisha Vikash Gazette 23 TheBackdrop Rain-fed Agriculture Rain-fed agriculture accounts for over 50% of foodgrain production and roughly 60%of the value of agricultural GDP in the Country (including grain-fed crops, horticulture, livestock and fisheries, Source- CRIDA, 2011). About 60% of total cropped area (48%of area under foodcropsand68%of that under non-food crops) remains rain-fed today. Besides crops, rain-fed agro-ecological regions are also home to 78% of cattle and 75% of goat population in the Country (PlanningCommission,2011b). Despite the larger production contribution (especially in pulses, millets and oilseeds), rainfed areas do not receive much policy attention. The very design of agriculture policies and programmes excludes much of the rain-fed areas. Large-scale conversion of households in traditional rain-fed areas from consumption of millets to rice/wheat aided by public procurement and subsidized distribution of rice/wheat through PDS is a striking example of this anomaly. Natural resource base in rain-fed areas is fragile with varying and often low soil depths and poor soil quality, highly variable rainfall patterns, aquifers that may not sustain intensive exploitation, diverse crop systems that integrate livestock systems and variability, household consumption patterns based on diverse millets, pulses, etc. Promotion of inappropriate intensive agriculture aided by public investments and expenditure in line with Green Revolution in these regions has caused substantial damage in terms of collapse of aquifers, soil degradation, ecological disasters and crop failures. There is an urgent need to reconfigure the nature, amount and delivery of public investments in rain-fed agriculture to address the sectoral issues.

29 Parallel Theme Sessions 24 There were two theme sessions on extensive livestock system and mitigating droughts in rain-fed areas. The opening session was chaired by Shri Srikara Naik, Advisor, Niti Aayog and the theme sessions were moderated by Dr. Sabyasachi Das, Livestock Anchor, RRA Network; Shri. Jagadish Pradhan, SVA; and Dr Srijit Mishra, Director, NCDS. Distinguished speakers included Shri Manoj Ahuja, I.A.S, Principal Secretary, DoA & FE, Govt. of Odisha; Shri T Vijaykumar IAS, Special Chief Secretary, DoA, GoAP; Shri Manoj Choudhury, Deputy Advisor, NITI Aayog; Shri Gopal Tripathy, Deputy Director, DoAH, GoO; Shri Balaram Sahu, DoAH & Fisheries, GoO);Ms. Swapna Sarangi, FES; Shri Tara Prasad Tripathy, PRADAN; Shri Vincent Darlung, Country Programme Officer, IFAD; Shri S K Ambast, Director, ICAR-IIWM; Dr. Himanshu Kulkarni, ACWADAM and Dr. Anupama Baliarsingh, Department of Agrometeorology, OUAT. & Issues Concerns Rain-fedAgriculture:EmergingPerspectives Odisha is geared to move from a relief model to a long-term sustainable economic model. Special effort is needed to enhance the production/productivity of crops given the reduction in land-holding size, deteriorating soil quality and poor germination of seeds. There should be programmes beyond agriculture including livestock and fisheries. The state should come up with animal husbandry resource index to assess the gross capital that can be generated from livestock. Studies should also be undertaken to identify gaps in goatery, poultry, fisheries and dairy. The livestock sector is significant as it provides longterm sustenance to families in the event of failure of agriculture. The Government of India has taken a serious step in this direction by starting the Rashtriya Pashudhan Vikash Yojana (RPVY).

30 Odisha Vikash Gazette 25 ExtensiveLivestockSystem Although more than 70% of rural households do backyard poultry with desi (indigenous) birds and 84% of all birds in backyard poultry are desi, government scheme/programmes focus on broiler and improved cross bred birds to the exclusion of desi birds. There appears a lack of livestock database and people's awareness on livestock diseases and preventive measures. Adequate IEC materials are not available for awareness building. Extension services for vaccination and deworming are not reaching the livestock farmers as required. There appears a greater need to motivate people to take up livestock rearing in an enterprise mode. Breeding and feeding is another area of concern along with inequity and inequality in distribution of commons and grazing areas and predation. Grazing-based livestock rearing is considered non-productive. Thereareexistingbestpractices,whichcanbereplicated: PRADAN's integrated livestock model and RRA Network's model on backyard poultry for tribals in Malkangiri are replicable models with strategic interventions to address issues of mortality, disease outbreaks, vaccination, worms, flock-size, feeding and predation. FES presented its experience of working out the common land policy 2013 with the Government of Rajasthan which vested the responsibility of governance and management of commons with the Panchayats. Heifer International presented its experiences in promotion of Goatery. MitigatingDroughtsinRain-fedAreas Although the average rainfall is high in Odisha, crop failure has almost become a common feature. In 2015, twenty-five out of thirty districts were declared drought affected. Water harvesting and management practices have not been widespread. Participatory irrigation management through pani panchayat implemented by the government has not been very successful. The government programmes for bore well, lift irrigation etc. need to be backed by a robust aquifer based ground water strategy, observed the participants. Rain-fed agriculture being increasingly vulnerable to climate change/variability, more effort is needed for securing rain-fed crops from drought spells. The practice of shared or protective irrigation for rain-fed crops requires more attention and orientation. Erratic rainfall, lack of rainwater conservation, depleting ground water, lack of irrigation facilities, mono-cropping, degradation of natural ecosystem and intensive agricultural practices are affecting resilience against droughts.

31 Parallel Theme Sessions 26 Thereareexistingbestpractices,whichcanbereplicated: Government of Andhra Pradesh has successfully taken up strategies of cross-linking rivers, desilting of all tanks through MGNREGS, recharge of bore-wells, micro-irrigation systems including drip irrigation, sprinklers and rain-guns. Practices of crop modeling, monitoring of ground water recharge, natural farming to improve soil quality and porosity and water percolation have enhanced crop productivity. Best practices from CSOs: WASSAN: Protective irrigation; FES: Conservation and governance of water; PRADAN: Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM); CYSD: WADI with intercropping; LANDESA: Kitchen garden; and PRAGATI: Reviving millets and tuber crops by using diversion-based irrigation and solar pumps. olic PASKS Rain-fed Agriculture Support systems and shelters for desi/ indigenous birds should be invested in. Investments should be made for strengthening support systems for local selective breeding and shelter for small ruminants. Appropriate changes in the revenue law is necessary to provide greater authority to Panchayats for the management of commons. Investments from MGNREGA and TSP funds should be leveraged to improve shelter and biomass regeneration. An adequate institutional system should be developed involving trained local youth/women to provide extension services to households for hygiene and healthcare of livestock. Long-term measures should be worked out to deal with different types droughts in Odisha based on longitudinal analysis of past droughts and performance of remedial interventionsby research organizations in collaboration with ACRIPDA, IIWM, NCDS and OUAT. Strategy for improving ground water management and use should be re-examined and revised with support from ACWADAM (Pune) or other related agency(ies). Capacities of different programmes and CSOs in different districts/blocks should be mapped.

32 Odisha Vikash Gazette 27 Employment SkillandMigration TheBackdrop Unorganized sector constitutes a crucial part of Odisha's economy. Unorganized workers number lakh (86.1% rural and 24.38% urban). Marginal workers constitute 39% of the total workforce out which as taggering 82% are engaged for 3-6 months and 18% for less than three months. Most of the new employment, as in the past years, is, however, likely to be in the informal sector and in agriculture, both of which have low wage rates and experienced low income growth. Participation of women cultivators decreased by 19 % from 9 lakh to 7.29 lakh between 2001 and The Odisha Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Board has been constituted to provide labour welfare schemes for the unorganized workers engaged in construction work. The Board so far has enrolled 5,40,117 workers and disbursed Rs 69,18,41,897 out of Rs 183,40,80,047 collected access towards welfare. The problem of unemployment has always been the result of a mismatch between qualitative aspects of labour supply and demand. While demand has remained unfulfilled due to non- availability of workers with requisite skills, workers stayed unemployed or underemployed due to lack of skills or their skills being not in demand. The staggering growth in agriculture today also adds additional workforce to the informal sector as a result of which a large section of agriculture workers are getting into unskilled employment or disguised unemployment. The State has set up Odisha Skill Development Authority (OSDA) with a budget of Rs. 1 billion to train 8 lakh youth in Odisha. The Government of Odisha states in its report that 135,000 people are registered as inter-state migrant workers. Informal sources put the number of migrant workers at as high as two million. Unemployment, low skill base, lack of information and resource, debt and distress due to natural calamities are considered as key factors for migration. Today, Odisha is a hub of labour supply addressing workforce demand in cities like Surat, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and the southern states contributing more than 2500 crore of remittance. The track had three theme sessions on: Employment, Skills and Migration. The sessions were chaired by Shri Umi Daniel, Head-Migration, Aide-et-Action and Shri P.M. Phillip, Executive Director, FVTRS. Distinguished speakers included Shri Manas Mishra, Executive Director Vasundhara; Shri. Kirti Bhusan Pani, PRADAN; Shri Rajesh Prabhakar Patil, IAS, District collector & Magistrate, Mayurbhanj;

33 Parallel Theme Sessions 28 Dr. Aishwarya Mahajan, Head-Livelihood Education, Aide et Action International; Shri P.M Phillip, Executive Director, FVTRS, Bengaluru; Shri Sujeet Kumar, OSD & Special Secretary, Odisha State Planning Board; Shri Subrat Singhdeo, Madhyam Foundation.

34 & Issues Concerns Odisha Vikash Gazette 29 Employment The scope of employment must be expanded by developing skills especially among youth, which can also disrupt the process of distress migration. There is a need to create employment through ambitious implementation of the MGNREGS. Transparency and accountability in MGNREGA is hampered by the fact the muster rolls are in English and the workers cannot read them. Workers have to travel long distances to get their payments, which needs to be eased. Innovative projects need to be identified to stimulate demand from people and engage more workers. MGNREGS implementation in Mayurbhanj has emerged as a model. Convergence of various schemes, crafting of different livelihood options and enhancing access to MGNREGS are the critical aspects. Mango, rubber and cashew plantations have been expanded. Producers' groups, have been formed, financial support provided and market linkages built for strengthening enterprises. There should be focus on natural resource based livelihood interventions in MGNREGS, which can simultaneously provide employment, increase agricultural income and growth and promote enterprise development. Planning for MGNREGS projects can be made completely demand-driven through IPPE process and ensure 100 days' employment for at least 25% of general job card holders and 150 days for PVTGs, PWDs, distress migrants and people living in disaster affected/prone regions. MGNREGS governance should be improved by reviving/functionalizing the OSSAT, facilitating regular social audits and strengthening rapid grievance redress mechanisms. A grievance redressal mechanism for exploitation and sexual harassment needs to be in place. Skill Skill development programmes are more focused on targets and numbers than quality of training. Skill training is male-oriented. People believe that skill education leads to low-paid jobs, which dampens people's interest and participation. Unemployment is increasing rapidly among unorganized workers, who generally suffer from low wage payment and low income growth. Lack of portability of entitlements and basic services for inter- and intra-state migrant workers is a major concern. The government has adopted a policy for promoting start-ups which has substantially expanded the scope for entrepreneurship development.

35 Parallel Theme Sessions 30 Realistic mapping of skills and available opportunities in the rural and tribal regions of Odisha can help to improve the design and outputs of skill development programmes. Gender and ability-friendly skill training and quality placement is important for improved employment. Decentralized skill training centres with CSR support can strengthen outreach and participation. Migration Odisha is one of the key labour sending states. Informal estimates suggest that about three lakh unskilled labour migration take place from western and southern districts and mostly, the poor landless, small and marginal farmers migrate with families. There is an increasing trend of youth migration. A database on migration and labour mobility is important to keep a tab on the current situation and take corrective measures. Development planning should focus on and include initiatives to reduce distress migration and labour trafficking with effective enforcement, employment and social inclusion. Migration can be turned into an economic opportunity by overcoming its bottlenecks, i.e. lack of access to health care, social entitlements, education for children, lack of improvement in skill profile and employability, etc. There is a need for a dynamic policy for the migrants addressing issues of accessing social security schemes, skill development support and improvement in employability. Reducing distress migration through MGNREGS. Muribahal is one of the most backward and poverty stricken block under Balangir district of Odisha forcing around 70 to 80 percent of households to go for distress migration to neighboring states in search of work. The case study capture the initiatives taken up by Aide et Action to combat distress migration in this block by making wage employment through MGNREGS accessible to these people in convergence with block administration. The initiative resulted in reducing the distress migration by about 35% in this area and providing meaningful engagement to them in their own place. Aide et Action:

36 Odisha Vikash Gazette 31 olic PASKS Employment, Skill and Migration A State Welfare Board should be constituted for non-construction workers and migrant workers for customized social security and welfare provision. 150 days of employment should be provided under MGNREGS to FRA beneficiaries, PVTG, PWDs, distress migrants and people living in disaster affected/prone regions. Realistic mapping of skill and competency in rural and tribal region of Odisha and skill enhancement of youth, women and other workers should be initiated in a joined-up approach to ensure access to sustainable employment. Decentralized skill training centres and CSR partnerships should be set up for improved employability of youth and other workers from vulnerable communities in remote locations. A policy should be adopted on portability of PDS and other universal government entitlements for poor workers and their families migrating for employment within and outside the state. Adequate seasonal hostel facilities should be set up for children at sources and education, nutrition and basic services for migrant workers and their families ensured at key destinations within Odisha. Mechanisms should be set up for safe, informed skilled migration and transparent and effective grievance redressal;inter-state MoUs should be initiated for nonexploitative labour and social security. Persons with disabilities (PwDs) should be included in the main workforce. Measures should be taken for timely release of wages under the MGNREGS and improvement in wage disbursal system. Empowerment and Employment through MGNREGS A classic example of an integrated approach of MGNREGS implementation in Karanjia block of Mayurbhanj district by PRADAN. It captures how the coordinated effort of the district administration, community based organization and the cluster facilitating team (CFT-here, PRADAN) enhanced the efficacy of MGNREGS implementation together with creation of sustainable livelihoods assets for the community. PRADAN supplements the efforts of Government through this model in the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in 27 CFT blocks. PRADAN:

37 Parallel Theme Sessions 32 TheBackdrop SchoolEducation andqualitylearning Despite huge investment in education under central flagship programmes such as District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) and Sarva Shikhya Abhiyan (SSA), and after six years of implementation of the RTE Act 2009, the state of public education in Odisha leaves a lot to be desired. Only 3% of all schools in Odisha could fully comply with the RTE Act with less than 1% of the schools fully complying in the districts of Malkanagiri, Nabarangapur, Nuapada and Rayagada (School Report Card, DISE ). The learning level of children in schools appears very disturbing. As per the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2014, 8.8% children in Standard III were unable to read alphabets in Odia. Similarly, 21.1% children in Standard III could read only the alphabet. About 13.4% children in Standard III could read Standard I level text but not the text of their own level and only 33.4% could read Standard II level text. About 8.6% children in Standard III could not even recognize numbers from 1 to 9. As many as 35.2% Std. II children could not do subtraction, 21.3% could not do division (Source: ASER 2014). Another disturbing fact is that, there is no proper identification of out-of-school children. As per the DISE , there were only 5000 out of school children in Odisha. However, as per the National Sample Survey, there are 4, 01,052 out-ofschool children in Odisha, mostly belonging to marginalised communities such as tribal, dalits and minorities. There are still single-teacher schools in Odisha which violate the RTE Act. There is no rational and transparent policy for posting or transfer of teachers which affects the quality of education. As per State policy, government must recruit teachers from tribal communities to facilitate multi-lingual education. However, this provision has not been implemented in letter and spirit.

38 There were two theme sessions: one on Quality Education and the other on Equity and Inclusion in Education. The sessions were respectively chaired by Dr. Laxmidhar Mishra, former Union Secretary, Labour and Prof. (Dr.) Ajit Kumar Mohanty, former Professor in Psychology, JNU, New Delhi. Distinguished speakers and panelists included Dr. Subhash Chandra Khuntia, IAS, Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy, Govt. of India; Prof. (Dr.) Udaya Nath Dash, Fmr. Professor in Psychology, Utkal University; Dr. Manmatha Kundu, Odisha Vikash Gazette 33 Fmr. Director, ELTI, Odisha; Shri Sudarsan Das, Secretary, HDF; Dr. Mohit Mohan Mohanty, Fmr. Director, SIEMAT, Odisha; Prof. (Dr.) Gourang Charan Nanda, Professor in Education, Ravenshaw University; Shri Anil Pradhan, Convener, Odisha RTE Forum; Ms. Sneha Mishra, Secretary, Aaina; Shri Ashis Sarkar, Team Leader, CRY, Kolkata; Shri Amarjit Jena,TESS India; Shri Gouranga Mohapatra, Jana Swasthya Abhiyan and Shri Himanshu Kumar Panda, Lokdrusti, Kalahandi. & Issues Concerns QualityEducation While the number of private schools in Odisha has increased from 4340 in to 5088 in ; the Department of School & Mass Education has decided to close down government elementary schools where the total number of enrolled students is less than ten. Instead of making remedial interventions, closing down government schools is a matter of serious concern. Pre-school education is the most neglected part of ICDS which leads to poor quality education at the primary level. Therefore, quality pre-school education should be treated as a governance issue and integrated with primary education cycle. Though the PTR looks healthy in the State, there are gaps in rationalization of teachers as per RTE norm. 3,440 (5.5%) schools were functioning in the State with single teachers. Rationalisation of vacancies of teachers was not done and teacherpupil ratio in some schools remained as low as 1:187 in primary schools and 1:272 in upper primary schools (CAG Report, ).

39 Parallel Theme Sessions 34 Moreover, varieties of teachers (Gana Shikshak, Para teacher Shiksha Sahayak, Junior Teacher, Regular Teachers, etc.) have been recruited in the State. Under-qualified teachers continue in primary schools (20,471) and upper primary schools (936). Of these, 1,265 are under-matriculate while 20,142 are only matriculates without any professional qualification. Though the teacher preparation initiative appears a good initiative, the TET result is not encouraging which needs to be reviewed. Long-term planning and follow-up is required for improving quality of teachers' training. Separate plan for training of teachers in KBK districts should also be thought of and collaborative learning between students and teachers to be encouraged. The curriculum lacks the objective of achieving the child's understanding and increasing the learning zeal. Consequently, learning outcomes of students do not reach desirable levels as evident from NAS and ASER reports of various years. As far as assessment is concerned, focus must be on 'assessment for learning' than on 'assessment of learning'. Input-based monitoring must give way to an outcome-oriented one with focus on student learning. Community is the key to monitor and extend necessary support in the regular functioning of schools. But it is observed that, Janch Committees/SMCs/ SMDCs are often functional only as a rhetoric. Actual community monitoring is neither encouraged nor respected. There is no State Advisory Board of Education to examine different programmes and schemes relating to education being implemented in the State and to advise the State Government for enhancing quality of school education. EquityandInclusioninEducation Though RTE Act and rules spell out to address diversity in the class the mechanism to implement that is missing. Schools to have adequate and appropriate support (including teachers with special education training) irrespective of absent or presence of CWSN. Tribal population constitutes 23% of the total population of the State. The tribes have their own languages and culture. There are 6118 schools in Odisha which have 100% ST enrolment (DISE ). Government of Odisha has the Multilingual Education Policy and MLE programme is being implemented in around 2000 schools. The MLE schools are located in very scattered manner and there is no proper monitoring and follow-up to ensure proper implementation of the same. The girls in KGBVs are dropouts and need special instruction. Training of KGBV teachers and wardens on bridging strategies is urgently needed. Specific training on remedial teaching, assessment and accelerated learning is necessary for the teachers. The wardens need to be trained to manage a hostel for adolescent girls and be made aware of the rights of children. Children migrating to the slums of cities like Raipur, Nagpur etc. remain absent in most of the school days in a year. Bridging the learning gaps of children those are migrating with their parents is a matter of concern. Schools must maintain an inclusive learning environment and use multiple learning materials. Planning of SDP at the local level should take into consideration the specific education needs of the area, and should be done in consultation with the community people and through their cooperation.

40 Odisha Vikash Gazette 35 olic PASKS School Education and Quality Learning A State Policy on School Education, in line with the National Policy on Education, should be put in place to systematically address state specific and contextual issues: Early Childhood Education (ECE) should be integrated with primary education. A Common School System across the State should be designed and established. Closing of government primary schools due to less enrollment must be stopped. Instead, all-out measures should be initiated to step up enrollment in conformity with the RTE Act. There are 6,118 schools in Odisha having 100% enrolment of children from ST communities (DISE ). A concrete Plan of Action for effective implementation of MLE policy at elementary level must be prepared and executed. Corrective measures must be taken in a time bound manner to ensure RTE compliance in terms of having good quality teachers in schools and having a sound PTR. A fair and transparent teacher recruitment and transfer policy should be adopted. Courses and approaches should be established in a planned way for continuing professional development of teachers and teacher educators through integration of ICT. While the teachers require resource support on regular basis, those working in remote areas need onsite support. For this a combined effort of sub-district level education officials, resourceful NGOs and community members may be initiated. The school curriculum needs to be revised and CCE to be implemented with focus on both assessment for learning and assessment of learning. Special learning materials should be developed for improving equity and quality of school education. Social support groups including CSOs need to be encouraged to provide resource support in terms of contextual local resources and methods for making learning meaningful. Regulatory body needs to be established to monitor private schools. Community-based monitoring system at school level should be strengthened and institutionalized. Collaborative mechanism should be developed to involve CSOs for reaching hard-to-reach groups of children, bringing innovations and improving quality in education. A State level advisory body of selected academics, government officials, civil society organizations, citizen-activists and elected representatives with experience and expertise in school education may be constituted to examine the programmes and support the State Government in quality enhancement.

41 Parallel Theme Sessions 36 Health TheBackdrop In addition to the existing challenges of maternal and child health nutrition, the under-resourced public health system in Odisha with inadequate infrastructure, human resources and limited multi-sectoral initiatives exacerbate the health problems. Though the share of public expenditure in Odisha has increased after introduction of the National Health Mission (NHM), it is not adequate to address the key issues like high out-ofpocket expenditure, shortage of doctors/specialists in public health facilities, etc. The SDG agenda which seeks to ensure universal health coverage, including financial risk protection and access to quality essential health-care services for all, has potential to improve the states' unfinished health agenda. However, the preparedness of the State in terms of policy actions to achieve the objectives of SDG needs to be thoroughly delineated, setting verifiable indicators. The current policy and programme deficits must be identified and concrete policy actions taken drawing experiences from best practices to strengthen the health care system.

42 There were four theme sessions on: Financing for Health; Governance and Human Resources for Health; Quality of Health Care Services in Odisha and People's Participation and Community Outreach. The sessions were respectively chaired by Dr. Sanjay Zodpey, PHFI; Smt. Arti Ahuja, IAS, Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, GoO; Dr K C Dash, DHS, Odisha and Dr. T. Sunderaraman, TISS, Mumbai. Speakers and panelists included Dr. Lipika Nanda, Director, IIPHB; Dr Sakthivel Selvaraj, PHFI, Delhi; Dr Sarit Kumar Rout, IIPHB; Dr Umakant Dash, IIT Madras; Dr Bhuputra Panda, IIPHB; Dr B P Mohapatra, SHRMU, GoO; Dr Raj Panda, PHFI, Delhi; Dr P K B Pattnaik, GoO; Dr Aquinas Edassery, Swastha Swaraj; and M A Wohab, Southern Health Improvement Samiti, West Bengal. Odisha Vikash Gazette 37 Supportive Supervision for Routine Immunization Routine immunization is a key child survival intervention. Issues related to quality of service delivery pose operational challenges in delivering effective immunization services. Accumulated evidences suggest that 'supportive supervision' improves the quality of health care services., Govt. of Odisha (GoO) and UNICEF jointly piloted this strategy in four districts during IIPH, Bhubaneswar conducted an independent assessment of this strategy and observed that improvements in ILR management practices indicate positive influence of supportive supervision. Addressing systemic issues could complement the supportive supervision strategy in improving immunization service delivery. PHFI:

43 Parallel Theme Sessions 38 & Issues Concerns FinancingforHealth Public spending has been considerably less not only in Odisha but across India to achieve the "health for all agenda". Goal 3 of SDG which talks about universal health coverage and indirectly focuses on financial risk protection can be achieved by scaling up public spending. There are too many schemes but limited r e s o u r c e s l e a d i n g t o p r o b l e m s i n implementation. Schemes need to be prioritized as per their link with the SDGs. The insufficient share of public spending in health care results in high burden of out-ofpocket spending on the vulnerable communities. Continued dearth of funds in the State hampers the effective rollout of several on-ground schemes. Financing of NHM through the treasury route delays the release of funds and complicates the problem created by financial scarcity. GovernanceandHumanResourcesforHealth Human resources for health do not just include doctors, but also other active and passive service providers. A strong and vibrant health system is impossible without health workers who are the ultimate resource. The greater the number of health workers, the greater is survival rate of patients. According to a rough estimate, there is a dearth of about 7.2 million health personnel today which is expected to increase to about 12.9 million by Various human resource reforms including compulsory posting of health personnel, monetary incentives etc. have been taken up to meet the emerging health needs and reduce mortality. However, more far-reaching efforts are necessary to bridge the wide HR gap.

44 Odisha Vikash Gazette 39 QualityofHealthCareServicesinOdisha The local self-governance system plays an important role in health service delivery and decision-making powers need to percolate down to the lower levels. Health personnel need to shift from a 'blind obedience' to a 'self-governance' mode. Day-care chemotherapy and cancer care services are being extended to seven district hospitals to help patients meet their tertiary care needs at the district level, which can save many lives as well as scarce resources. Improved and transparent systems of human resource management are necessary in Odisha. There are several issues of supply, quantity, demand and the way they are dealt with at health service delivery point which are challenging. The fixation on doctors must change and more need to be invested on nurses as well as allied health workers. People'sParticipationandCommunityOutreach The importance of an extensive primary health care system that remains at the core of the health system cannot be overemphasized. There is a need for new and innovative ways to meet the present requirements of primary health care. Primary healthcare system needs to be complemented by public private partnerships at secondary and tertiary level. Sakti Varta' as a tool for Participatory Learning and Action as a best practice from 'EKJUT' showed that if women from any community can be provided with proper knowledge and can work together, many health issues especially related to the maternal and child health can be resolved. From the patients' perspectives, the need to improve the quality of medicines, toilets and grievance redressal system in the public health system remains paramount. By integrating low-cost appropriate technology, community participation and community empowerment, affordable primary health care can be made available to people in remote tribal areas.

45 Parallel Theme Sessions 40 olic PASKS Health A comprehensive and meaningful state health policy should be developed addressing the needs. An independent regulatory framework should be established for assuring quality of services both in public and private sector institutions. Through piloting, alternate models of service delivery should be developed to reach out to the poorest in the remotest areas. A strong focus should be given on Tribal Health and programmes are to be designed accordingly. Evidences need to be generated through reliable and high quality implementation research. Health accounts should be institutionalised. Accountability should be improved through community participation by strengthening grass root level institutions like GKS and RKS etc. The issue of high out-of-pocket expenditure for buying medicine and patient transportation must be addressed on a priority basis. Primary health care services should be repackaged and strengthened with inputs from pilot studies for its operationalization. Healthcare should be de-medicalised through task shifting and use of low cost technology. Mobile Boat Clinics Mobile Boat Clinic is an alternative model for rural health care delivery. A boat is specially designed to provide basic primary health care services to people in inaccessible areas. At present, such boats with designated health staff, necessary equipment and drugs makes periodic visits to selected areas in Malkangiri district. The mobile boat clinic is equipped to conduct health camps, immunization and vaccination clinics and provide other primary health care services. PHFI:

46 Odisha Vikash Gazette 41 TheBackdrop Water,Sanitation andhygiene Safe drinking water, improved sanitation and hygiene are critical to overall well-being of a community. However, despite considerable investments, a sizeable population in the State continue to live without access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene - recognized as essential human rights. While sanitation, till recently, did not figure among the development agenda of the State with all interventions limited to service delivery only. Access to safe drinking water still eludes many in the rural areas. Ideal hygiene practices are largely determined by access to and use of toilets and safe water and hastened by a process of behavior change. The health, economic and social implications of poor WASH facilities and practices have been proven by several studies and programmes. The vulnerable communities face multiple impediments to access safe water related to availability, quality, and costs. Lack of safe drinking water with poor sanitation facilities and practices are major causes for incidence of diseases like diarrhea, gastroenteritis, jaundice and perpetuates poor health conditions like anemia and malnutrition. The incidence of diarrhea in interior Odisha is generally high and is a major cause of infant and other deaths. Massive programmes such as the Central Rural Sanitation Program (CRSP), the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), Swatch Bharat Mission (SBM) and National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP), Accelerated Rural Drinking Water Program me' (ARDWP) have been implemented over the years to ensure access to sanitation and safe drinking water facilities. However, the goal of total coverage still lies far behind.

47 Parallel Theme Sessions 42 There were two theme sessions on Water and Sanitation respectively chaired by Shri P K Sahoo, Chairman, CYSD and Shri Joe Mediath, Chairman, Gram Vikash. Distinguished speakers were: Shri V K Madhavan, Chief Executive, WaterAid India; Shri Tapan Padhi, Executive Director, National Institute of Development; Dr. Himanshu Kulkarni, Executive Director, ACWADAM; Prof. Debi Prasad Mishra, Executive Director, Gram Vikas; Ms. Bishakha Bhanja, Regional Manager, WaterAid India; Ms. Biraja Kabi Satpathy, Social Development Expert, Deloitte; Dr. Birupakshya Dixit, Practical Action; Prof. Srinivas Chary Vedala, Administrative Staff College of India; Shri Manas Rath, Senior Advisor, BORDA. & Issues Concerns Water Water, sanitation and hygiene are intrinsically linked and their impact is enormous as 50 % of preventable diseases can be reduced by addressing water and sanitation issues. There are 4, 17,000 tube wells for 4.5 crore people in Odisha; but there is no assessment of their functionality, the water quantity and quality. Fluoride and iron contamination in tube well water (also in piped water) and its adverse health impact on common people is an issue that needs to be addressed. Though 25% of households have access to piped water supply, it is insufficient and affected by the problem of Operation and maintenance (O&M). Indiscriminate extraction of ground water is a cause of concern as it would impact sustainability of such a life saving resource. Inclusive management of water is critical as the marginalized communities would be most drastically affected by its scarcity or contamination. Importance of community participation and capacity building of the VWSCs and other community institutions involved is very important for successful O & M of water infrastructure. PRIs have a crucial role in creating water secure communities in rural areas, where a number of issues remain to be addressed:

48 Slippage in government schemes: 32% of facilities provided through govt. schemes become dysfunctional within months due to depleting water and lack of O&M. Over dependence on ground water: 80% of drinking water is ground water. Increasing water contamination (Bacterial and chemical fluoride, arsenic, nitrate, iron etc.) Absence of sound ground water governance leads to competition/conflicts for water Lack of role clarity of different stakeholders including the communities f o r p lanning, implementing and monitoring. There is a dire need for an institutional framework for management of ground water. Inadequate coverage, intermittent supplies, low pressure and poor water quality are among the major issues in ensuring water supply in urban areas. Odisha Vikash Gazette 43 There is an urgent need for a life cycle approach for urban water sector and focusing on urban poor. There are poorly targeted subsidies for the urban poor and devolution is not a guarantee for their access to WASH due to system inefficiencies. Sanitation While the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) brings a lot of opportunities in terms of policy and programme support for building toilets, the target and contractor driven approach hampers the quality of toilets and undermines community participation. The main gaps in urban sanitation service chain are: open defecation, use of insanitary/unimproved toilets by people with individual toilets and discharge of untreated waste in water bodies or in land. Access, equity and sustainability in sanitation options are major challenges for the urban poor. The coverage should improve to include the poor The Odisha urban sanitation situation, is marked by rampant open defecation by 33.2 % households. The State is second from bottom among all states in terms of number of households (39.8%) not having a toilet. Using toilets without Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) is same as open defecation. If at least one cesspool from each 110 ULBs in Odisha discharges the sludge openly, it is equal to 5, 50,000 urban people defecating in open every day. As the Odisha State Sanitation Landscaping Study 2013 (conducted by Practical Action, South Asia) indicates, sanitation is not a priority especially of low income people, and majority of them practice open defecation. Number of community and public toilets is not sufficient. Large mass of sewage/faecal sludge is being ultimately disposed of in normal storm drains or dumped untreated. All cities in Odisha need combination of approaches - centralized sewerage systems, decentralized wastewater treatment systems and FSM. Better FSM solutions are needed. Hygiene is the driver for use of safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. But, no single department is accountable for this. Little hygiene components in multiple departments and programme are heading nowhere and, without maintenance of hygiene, improvement in drinking water and sanitation services is yielding little result. A State vision document on SDGs should be prepared (as has been done by the State of Assam and Andhra Pradesh) soon with inputs from all sections of society.

49 Parallel Theme Sessions 44 olic PASKS Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Provision of drinking water should be based on water security plan prepared by people and Panchayat/ULBof the areas/habitations concerned. All drinking water provisioning must have inbuilt source sustainability measures from the outset. Water security must ensure availability of water at each individual household level instead of community level. The local governments (PRIs/ULBs) must be made the units for generating demand, planning, monitoring, operation and maintenance. Goal-oriented capacity building of local governments (PRIs in rural & ULBs in urban areas) must be conducted on basic water resources planning, budgeting, water conservation and treatment, water distribution as well as O&M of water infrastructures/facilities. Considering the increasing momentum around SBM and the situational diversity, the menu of options for toilets and building materials should be flexible. Adequate and effective behavior change communication programmes should be conducted for target communities/users under SBM to ensure construction and use of high-quality toilets. FSM must be an integral part of sanitation programme. The sanitation loop from disposal to transportation to treatment must be closed. Accountability needs to be fixed with respective departments for ensuring hygiene. Making one department responsible for this is ideal. Community based monitoring and social audit in WASH should be taken up in a transparent manner as per guidelines. Convergence across multi-departmental involvement in WASH should be ensured. A functional platform should be created for periodically sharing good practices, replicable models and innovative ideas involving all stakeholders. Corporate organisations should be encouraged to adopt communities/gps with an integrated development approach. A shift from infrastructure/facility approach to community approach is required.

50 Odisha Vikash Gazette 45 FinancialInclusion TheBackdrop Financial inclusion means the delivery of financial services at affordable cost to disadvantaged and low-income segments of the society. Access to institutional financial service is important which can play a critical role in generating employment and income at micro level. Ensuring financial services to all households has however, been a challenge mainly because of the remote geographical spread and inadequate infrastructure in the rural and hard to reach areas of the State. Financial inclusion is especially important in Odisha with a large population of poor people including SC and ST communities, who mostly depend on casual labour and informal sector employment. Majority of them especially the tribal communities living in remote and hilly areas, face extreme financial and social exclusion due to a range of factors including remote geographical habitat, cultural and psychological barriers, low literacy and inadequate financial literacy. The financial sector is yet to fully address the issues of scale and depth in the State. Regional skew is observed in terms of financial inclusion coverage due to which many banks do not seem very keen to lend to SHGs and do not consider SHG-BLP a good business proposition. Coverage of micro-insurance and pension services for poor is also not very encouraging.

51 Parallel Theme Sessions 46 The theme sessions explored the financial inclusion initiatives and their prospects as well as the policy framework and roles of stakeholders for accelerating financial services to the tribal and other excluded communities. Distinguished speakers included Prof. Anup Kumar Dash, Director - NABARD; Shri Parsuram Nayak, Director, SMCS; Shri Chitta Ranajan Dash, Director (Plan Finance-2), Ministry of Finance, Govt of India; Dr. Sarada Prasan Mohanty, GM-RPCD, RBI; Dr. T.K.

Pattnaik, FI Advisor, OLM; and Shri Rajesh Kumar, State Director, PSIG -SIDBI.

52 & Issues Concerns Odisha Vikash Gazette 47 Banking services outreach must be extended to remote areas of the state along with promotion of financial literacy among the rural poor. The payment gateway operated by the National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) should provide affordable payment mechanism to benefit common people across the country. The Business Correspondent (BC) model has a huge potential for expansion to achieve universal access for full range of financial services. The financial inclusion agenda must include: broadening of financial services to those people and enterprises who do not have access to financial services sector; deepening of financial services for those who have minimal financial services; and greater financial literacy and consumer protection so that those who are offered financial products can make appropriate choices. There is a need for convergence of government and other regional level institutes. The PMJDY needs to reach households linked to economic activities. Implementation of Project Loon was an innovative initiative under which the internet giant Google designed a network of balloons floating at a height of 20-kilometers above the Earth's surface to extend internet connectivity to people in rural and remote areas. When there is a will, there is a way The leadership quality of Susama Paramanik, a resident of VSS Nagar, Bhubaneswar has paved the path of success for Mahaveer (B) SHG. Starting with a loan of Rs.5000 and phenyl manufacturing, the members have now diversified their activities to include tailoring, grocery and stationary business. SMCS helped the group with financial support. SMCS:

53 Parallel Theme Sessions 48 olic PASKS Financial Inclusion A state level institution of excellence for financial inclusion should be set to build capacity of individuals and institutions involved. Area-specific financial inclusion programmes should be developed and implemented in tribal and remote areas. NABARD refinancing facilities and technology support should be extended to CSOs including MFIs in the same way done to Banks, RRBs, etc. Interest subvention scheme may be extended to SHGs promoted by CSOs including MFIs, corporate agencies, etc. CSOS should have space in all financial inclusion policy, programme, planning. Representation of CSOs, MFIs and corporate agencies should be included in the SLBCs/DLCCs and other platforms at different levels related to financial inclusion. Skill-India must link with financial inclusion. Livelihood based capacity building, business and market linkage, technology adoption, etc. should be part of the financial inclusion domain. The existing SHG base should be leveraged for inclusion of individual entrepreneurs. An appropriate regulatory framework should be adopted for regulating and supervising non -NBFC-MFIs unregulated by RBI. Financial literacy should be promoted in a mission mode, covering all important aspects (credit, savings, micro insurance, micro pension, remittance etc.) and adequate and dedicated resource allotted for financial literacy. A cadre of barefoot bankers should be created from the communities. State level financial inclusion vision 2030 should be developed and implemented for inclusive growth with a clear time line. Corporates may consider spending a portion of the mandated 2% profit for financial inclusion in collaboration with CSOs/MFIs as part of their CSR activities.

54 Odisha Vikash Gazette 49 TheBackdrop Disaster andclimateaction Odisha is known as a hotspot for natural disasters, such as flood, drought, tropical cyclones, extreme temperature, thunderstorms, and has witnessed a series of such disasters on a recurrent scale. Existing hazards have been compounded by socio-economic distress, unplanned urbanization, environmental degradation, and the impact of climate change. The journey from the Super Cyclone 1999 to Phailin 2013 and Hudhud 2014 has evidenced the significant success in disaster management in Odisha. The zero-hour action plan and zero death has set a benchmark not only nationally but also globally. Human life loss has been minimized but loss of animals and plants, mangroves and forest cover is yet to be addressed. The existing zero-hour warning system of collecting, disseminating weather data and search and rescue operations are now advanced. Though institutional mechanisms have been put in place at the State, district and sub-district levels, the Disaster Management Act is yet to be fully implemented at the district level. Multi-stakeholder platforms are needed for collaboration and coordination in strengthening sustainable and disaster resilient development. There is a need to identify right mechanisms for collaboration between panchayats, government organizations and CSOs to ensure smart response.

55 Parallel Theme Sessions 50 There were four sessions to deal with various aspects of disaster management: Institution development, preparedness for Smart Response, capacity development on disaster resilient sustainable development, and Climate Change and its implications for food security, livelihoods and disaster management. The sessions were chaired respectively by Shri Kamal Kishore, Member, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA); Shri Bhaskar Baruah, Member, Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA), and Shri Anil Sinha, Former Vice Chairman, Bihar State Disaster Management Authority (BSDMA); Prof. Vinod Kumar Sharma; Vice Chairman, Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority (SSDMA) and Dr. Veer Bhushan; Acting Secretary General, Indian Red Cross, New Delhi; Dr. Aurobindo Behera, Former Member, Board of Revenue, Govt. of Odisha and Dr. Ajit Pattnaik, Integrated Coastal Zone Management Project (ICZMP), Odisha. Distinguished panelists included Shri Pradipta Mohapatra, Principal Secretary, Disaster Management and Managing Director, OSDMA, GoO; Shri O.P. Singh, Director General, NDRF; Shri Pravat Mohapatra, Deputy Relief Commissioner, SRC Office, GoO; Shri Vikrant Mahajan, Sphere India; Dr. Ambika Nanda, Head-CSR, Tata Steel, Odisha; Dr. Chakradhara Panda, Honorary Secretary, IRCS, Prof Janaki Andharia, Professor, Jamsetji Tata School of Disaster Studies(TISS); Shri Kailash Das, Executive Director, RCDC; Ms Mounabati Behera, SHG Member, Rajnagar, Kendrapara; Dr. Anshu Sharma, Disaster Management Strategist, New Delhi; Ms Aditi Kapoor, Climate & Resilience Advisor, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; and Manoj Kumar Dash, CEO, Integrated Volunteers Network, Delhi besides the members of the IAG, Odisha led by its Vice-Chair, Shri Debabrata Patra, Regional Manager, Action Aid, India. Implementing the Sendai Framework: Lessons from India The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction represents a major shift in how Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) is conceptualised. It focuses on disaster risk management rather than disaster management, emphasising the protection of livelihoods as well as saving people and property. The Sendai Framework in particular includes a clear commitment to the protection of livelihoods and productive assets. Countries now need to incorporate animal protection into DRR policies, plans and activities to reduce economic losses and safeguard livelihoods. World Animal Protection:

56 & Issues Concerns Odisha Vikash Gazette 51 StrengtheningDisasterManagementInstitutions Institutional mechanisms need to be developed to deal with extreme temperature, thunder storms, urban disasters, mineral exploitation, issues of coastal zone etc. to ensure better preparedness. Systematic mainstreaming of DRR and CCA (focused on different disasters) should be ensured through dynamic, contextualized, decentralized and participatory planning and response system aligning with sustainable development Planning and using judicious mix of traditional as well as modern knowledge and skills. Good practices of SDMAs in Assam, Bihar, Gujarat and Sikkim should be studied and adopted in OSDMA as required and vice versa. Comprehensive capacity needs assessment and capacity building to be institutionalized. The proposed SIDM should be converted to a holistic state-of-the-art knowledge institution on disaster risk, resilience, sustainability, environment and eco system management. Disaster management plans should be revisited, reviewed and updated in a participatory manner and multi-stakeholder context. Guidelines need to be developed for execution of DDMA's roles and responsibilities. DDMAs need to be strengthened with expertise, financial resources and technologies.

57 Parallel Theme Sessions 52 EnhancingpreparednessforSmartResponse Decentralized AWS system should be installed at Panchayat levels and the O-Prob initiative by DST needs to be revitalized. There need to be ICT-enabled mapping of pregnant women, disabled, malnourished and other vulnerable sections. ICT enabled assessment of damage, monitoring of response with participation of local leaders will help to build a smart response. Institutionalized community-centric response mechanism should be set up at Panchayat level. There is a need to emphasize the role of the first responder (community) and their preparedness. Institutionalized, inclusive and coordinated inter-agency response system needs to be built up with clear protocols on roles and responsibilities in enabling the smart response. Roster/pool of resilience experts in various sectors should be developed to support sustainable planning and development action. Innovative ideas and initiatives will be needed to reach youth, who would be very useful with their tech-savviness and familiarity with the Internet. Partnership is essential between the responder and the affected with dignity, responsibility and accountability. Strong and comprehensive database needs to be developed on disaster risk and resilience along with well-researched disaster risk analysis protocol. The disaster museum being developed inside the natural history museum based on learnings from the Kobe disaster museum can be useful in better understanding various disasters and response systems. Convergenceofglobalframeworks Vision2030 The SDG framework, Sendai Framework of Action, Paris Climate Change Action and other frameworks need to be aligned while developing the Odisha Vision 2030 framework. Vision 2030 framework should be an inclusive programme taking into consideration the needs and perspectives of children, youth, adolescents, women, old, PwDs, minorities and other vulnerable social groups. Institutional mechanism needs to be set up for monitoring action towards building a disaster resilient sustainable development model in the State with critical standards and indicators - periodic report cards should be prepared to ascertain progress. Odisha needs to commit funds for developing the database/information system for better understanding of vulnerability and planning for resilient and sustainable models. An empowered working group should be constituted at the State level to facilitate action on convergence. The Disaster planning and implementation system should integrate gender analysis at all levels and engage youth in every step as much as possible.

58 Odisha Vikash Gazette 53 olic PASKS Disaster and Climate Action Climate Change Action Plans are to be converged with Disaster Planning in developing resilient and sustainable development models in the light of Vision Dynamic, contextualized, decentralized and participatory DRR & CCA planning should be aligned with development planning. Advanced weather forecasting and warning systems must be established at Panchayat, Block and district levels with robust networking and communication links. District Disaster Management Authorities need to be strengthened with allocation of funds, placement of experts and strong management systems. Comprehensive capacity needs assessment should be conducted as a pre requisite of setting up of State Institute of Disaster Management (SIDM) and the SIDM should be converted to a holistic state-of-art knowledge institution on risk, resilience, sustainability, environment and ecosystem management. Multi-stakeholder platforms need to be established for facilitating and monitoring action towards convergence of various global frameworks in the Vision Protocols for Government-CSOs/NGO- Corporate partnership should be developed and implemented. Mangrove Nursery for Coastal Protection Coastal Odisha is highly vulnerable to climate change. In recent past the coasts of Odisha have witnessed three devastating cyclones; the Super Cyclone, and Cyclones Phailin and HudHud. Mangroves are vital for coastal ecosystems. Mangrove forests protect freshwater resources against salt water intrusion; protect land from eroding waves and wind; and stabilize the coastal land. Mangrove forests can be considered as natural barrier protecting the life and property of coastal communities from storms and cyclones. The case study captures the initiatives of RCDC towards climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction and building climate resilient communities in the coastal districts of Kendrapara and Jagatsinghpur of Odisha. RCDC:

59 Parallel Theme Sessions 54 SustainableDevelopment Partnership:CSRRoundTable TheBackdrop The session had intensive discussions on the desirable engagement of multiple stakeholders and the need for appropriate mechanisms for developing and executing models of partnership among government, corporate organizations and CSOs/NGOs. Representatives from various corporate bodies and CSOs/NGOs enthusiastically participated. The purpose was to find out opportunities, address challenges and suggest possible framework for multi-stakeholder partnership. The possibility of development of a State level collaborative platform for effective planning and execution of development initiatives was also explored. The thrust of the session was to chalk out strategy for the tripartite partnership model to address some of the critical development challenges in the State. The session was chaired by Shri Prashant Kumar Hota, Convener, CII Odisha. Panelists included Shri Prabhat Pani, Tata Trust; Shri Amitabh Behar, NFI.

60 & Issues Concerns Odisha Vikash Gazette 55 As the CSR budgets cannot match government expenditure, problems and issues for action need to be carefully identified through research and consultation to have maximum impact in a specific area which can subsequently be scaled up by the government. There is a need to get corporate houses under a single umbrella to raise CSR resources and find commonality and convergence in issues and actions. A Coordination and Convergence Committee is needed at the State level with membership from corporates, CSOs, academia and government. While inspiration can be drawn from many similar initiatives to facilitate state level CSR convergence, relevant elements of those models s h o u l d b e c a r e f u l l y c o n s i d e r e d a n d contextualized for Odisha. Regular interaction is necessary between corporate associations (ex; CII, FICCI etc.) and CSOs to explore partnership and convergence. They should also collaborate with government putting together their financial resources and expertise.

61 Parallel Theme Sessions 56 olic PASKS Sustainable Development Partnership A tripartite convergence mechanism should be devised to focus on critical areas receiving less attention at present (e.g. backward districts, support to specific tribal groups, etc.) and identify options for strategic intervention. Coordination and Convergence mechanisms need to be set up at State, district and industrial cluster levels. Such mechanisms should have long-term (ideally 5-10 years), but flexible plans for making perceptible impact. Resources and competency mapping needs to be carried out both for corporate organizations and CSOs/NGOs to facilitate effective partnerships. Some priority areas should be selected for action which can be scaled up later. Corporate associations (ex; CII, FICCI etc) should hold regular discussions with CSOs for facilitating partnership and convergence. All convergence and coordination committee at the State level should have membership from corporates, NGOs, academia and government. The CSR facilitating agency at the Govt. level should include all key stakeholders including corporates (both Public sector & Private) and the CSOs. Public Private Partnerships (PPP) for Primary Health Care Health & Family Welfare Department, Government of Odisha under National Health Mission (NHM), initiated efforts in 2010 to involve private organizations and NGOs to manage primary health centres (PHCs) through Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. A dedicated 'PPP Cell' is operational at the Mission Directorate, NHM-Odisha to facilitate and manage these partnerships. The main purpose of this initiative was to increase access to public health services for people living in rural and remote areas. So far, about 182 sub centres and 32 PHCs are functioning in this mode. Of the 32 PHCs, 23 are run by NGOs and 9 by two corporate organizations. These centres deliver basic primary care services in hard reach pockets with the aim of improving health and nutrition status of the people. PHFI:

62 Odisha Vikash Gazette 57 TheBackdrop InclusiveGovernance, FiscalManagement andsocialaccountability The quality of governance in a state is determined by how effective the prevailing mechanisms of accountability of the government is towards people's representatives (in the State Legislature) as well as towards the people. Equally important dimensions are transparency in government process and the space for participation of people in the process of setting up budgetary priorities and contours of public policies. Besides, it is also critical to discuss the ways and means of making public resources available to the state government for giving priority to the development sectors. The session examined the quality of governance in Odisha with a critical eye on public finance and development financing in the state. The Session highlighted implications of recent developments in the federal-fiscal architecture of India, persistent challenges that the state faces and critical policy recommendations for the state government.

63 Parallel Theme Sessions 58 The session was chaired by Shri R. N. Das, Adviser, State Planning Board, GoO, and facilitated by Shri Subrat Das, Executive Director, CBGA. There were four presentations around which discussions centred. Shri C. K. Mathew, Senior Fellow, PAC, Bangalore presented about the Governance Index of States in India; Prof. Tapas Sen on Odisha's Budgetary Priorities for Social Sectors and Resource Mobilization Policies; Shri R. S. Gopalan, Executive Director, Centre for Modernizing Govt. Initiatives, GoO on Governance Reforms in Odisha and Shri Basanta Nayak, CYSD-OBAC about emerging new resource opportunities in the state. Two distinguished panelists Shri Ashok Meena, Special Secretary, GA Dept., GoO and Shri Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Principal Secretary, Finance Dept., GoO commented on the issues raised, following which there were discussions in the house.

64 & Issues Concerns Odisha Vikash Gazette 59 GovernanceAccountability The Public Affairs Index (PAI) developed by the Public Affairs Centre (PAC), Bangalore has tried to measure the quality of governance across states based on 10 themes, 25 focus subjects and 68 indicators. The PAI focuses on institutions, processes and considers three years' data to indicate movement. Out of the 17 large states analyzed, Odisha ranks 15. In case of household electrification, generation of renewable energy, ISHRI, slum population, population served per hospital bed, malnourished children, numbers of BPL families, Odisha is in bottom five. Odisha's performance is also poor in case of essential infrastructure, health, employment and minority welfare. However, the potential of the State is high in terms of its finances. The road ahead can lead to better performance if all stake holders are involved in partnership and the government encourages action by private sector and civil society groups. The Odisha government has worked on modernizing governance by easing cumbersome and lengthy processes receiving services from government offices. Redesigning governance for the digital age is not just about computers and internet, it is the redesigning of government operational systems for smooth service delivery and improved citizens' participation. FiscalandFinancialManagement Odisha has low per capita social sector expenditure, but, measured as a percentage of GSDP, it is above the national average. However, when social sector expenditure is viewed as a percentage of government expenditure, Odisha is ahead of most states. The state's resources could be increased by: Increasing tax (and non-tax) revenue: Presently, Odisha's tax to GSDP ratio is about 6.5%, which needs to be raised by 4 percent to compare favourably with well-performing states at 10%-10.5%. Since tax is linked to income of people, support to people's economic development and income generation can raise tax revenue. Accessing bigger Central transfer: While Central transfer has become more untied, it has hardly increased quantitatively and likely to remain so. Thus, the state needs to raise its own resource base. Leveraging private sector resources: There is a need encourage increased private sector expenditure in important sectors with proper guidance and monitoring.

65 Parallel Theme Sessions 60 NewResourceOpportunitiesforincreaseddevelopmentspace There are new and emerging sources of revenue which can brace up development spending at state and sub state levels: Peripheral Development Fund (PDF), Odisha Mineral Bearing Area Development Corporation (OMBADC), Odisha Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (OBOCWWB), District Mineral Fund (DMF), Compensatory Afforestation Fund (CAF), etc. utilization of resources at district level and below. Along with the annual budget, a budget statement on these extra resources can facilitate better use as well as larger transparency and accountability of these funds. Lack of awareness of government officials, people's representatives and the public, has hindered planning and utilization of these resources effectively. Intensive research, proper planning and convergence and implementation mechanisms can help tap these funds. Accountability needs to be fixed with concerned officials/ departments for effective and efficient NeedforGovernmentEffort The govt. must carefully explore various sources for generating resources as there are limits to raising private resources. Adoption of technology, especially information technology, will play increasingly larger roles in improving governance. For instance, computerized treasury management, Human Resource Management System (HRMS), etc. have significantly aided governance. The state should make efforts to obtain maximum output through minimum and effective expenditure. The state government has adopted several reform measures which have increased the efficiency of the state secretariat and must continue to usher in such measures. Participation of civil society will also strengthen the governance process, which the government needs to facilitate and make room for.

66 Odisha Vikash Gazette 61 olic PASKS Inclusive Governance, Fiscal Management and Social Accountability Social sector allocation and expenditure particularly in education, health, skill development for increasing employability of youth should be increased. Reprioritization of social sector expenditure towards marginalized sections, rural and hard-to-access areas is required. The Tax to GSDP ratio of Odisha should be raised by 4 % in a time-bound manner. New and emerging sources of revenue, i.e., Peripheral Development Fund (PDF), Odisha Mineral Bearing Area Development Corporation (OMBADC), Odisha Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (OBOCWWB), District Mineral Fund (DMF), Compensatory Afforestation Fund (CAF), etc. should be tapped and utilized in a planned manner at state and sub-state levels. Resources at the district level should be efficiently used in an outcome-oriented, transparent and accountable manner. A comprehensive budget statement at district level may be introduced. Modernisation of Governance should be an Inclusive process. The civil society should be constructively engaged for assisting in implementation, strengthening innovation and improving accountability. Consultative forums to be activated for collaborative action between the Government, Civil Society and the private sector. Citizen-led Community Accountability to be mainstreamed through planned initiatives from the Panchayat upwards. District Governance Index computed on key development parameters may be introduced to assess performance of districts to extend necessary support and bridge gaps among districts.

67 Last-mileOutreachand SocialInclusionin BasicServicesand Livelihoods 62 Implementation of most development interventions continue to have last mile hiccups in reaching the targeted communities and individuals. The last mile difficulty does not necessarily imply geographical remoteness or isolation. Even households living in a patch of slum in the heart of a city can be excluded because of last-mile issues. It is related to obstructions in the delivery pipeline. The session examined the last-mile issues in different development programmes and in relation to different social groups and explored possible solutions. The Session was chaired by Shri Achyut Das, Director, Agragamee. The panelists included:shri Soumya Ranjan Patnaik, Chief Editor, Sambad; Dr. Subhash Chandra Khuntia, Secretary. Dept. of School Education & Literacy, MHRD, GoI; Dr. Laxmidhar Mishra, former Union Secretary, Labour, GoI; Shri Umi Daniel, Head, Migration, Aide et Action International; Shri Rajesh Prabhakar Patil, IAS, District Collector & Magistrate, Mayurbhanj; Dr. Shruti Mohapatra, Chief Executive, Swabhiman; Dr. Biraj Patnaik, Principal adviser to the Commission of Supreme Court, Right to Food Campaign; Dr. V. K. Madhavan, Chief Executive, WaterAid; Shri Basant Kar, Senior Advisor, The Coalition for Food & Nutrition Security; Shri Charudatta Panigrahy, President, FIDR; and Prof. (Dr.) Bishnu N. Mohapatra, Social Theorist. MigrationandMigrantLabour It is usually the landless and asset less agricultural labourers or other casual workers who migrate. They often migrate and work under inhuman conditions and are exploited by both middle men and employers. Lack of basic facilities, low/no wages, poor accommodation, sexual harassment, unilateral changes in work place are among the major problems faced by the migrants and their families. Migration takes the worst form when it leads to bonded labour. If schemes like the MGNREGS work successfully, it would prevent migration substantially. While 68 lakh people have registered for the MGNREGS, only 19 lakh have got work, out of which less than 9% have got 100 days' work. 23% new labour force has joined during the decade ( ) in Odisha, whose skill upgradation, employability etc. need to be addressed. It is important to analyze the economics of migration. Nearly 9 lakh migrant labourers from Odisha work in Surat contributing to that state, sending remittance worth 200 crore to Odisha.

68 P o s s i bl e interventions Odisha Vikash Gazette 63 Intensify public works including MNREGA and regular payment in cash Enhance food security through grain banks during lean period in migration-prone areas Ensure dignity of migrants Make destination states responsible for migrants. For migrants from Odisha, destination states like Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat etc. are wellendowed but have not taken substantial steps to improve employment conditions of such labour force. Develop and implement guidelines on interstate migration. Just issuing license and registering organizations that send migrants does not alleviate the distress of migrant population. Most migrants are unaware about their employment conditions and the living standards in destination points. Highest migration from poorest districts of Odisha. Advocate for making the Ministry of Labour and E m p l o y m e n t a c c o u n t a b l e f o r p o l i c y implementation with regard to migrants. Migration is a fundamental right but the process should be enabled with dignity and rights of migrants ensured. Ensure basic entitlement portability of services like immunization, PDS, education, ICDS services Enhance education, skill and knowledge of the labour force: Include soft skill training to improve their communication skills etc. This will enhance their employability. ReachingPersonswithDisabilities(PwDs) It was pointed out that while the PwDs account for only 2.2% of Indian population according to the Census of India, the WHO states that 10% of any population are PwDs. If the WHO estimate is considered, the population of PwDs amounts to as many as 60 lakh in Odisha, who need to be included in all aspects of development. P o s s i bl e interventions People's attitude towards disability and PwDs need to change before PwDs can be integrated into the development agenda. It can be achieved by augmenting the visibility of PwDs and their achievements. All forms of disability must be targeted. We need to focus not just on motor impairment, but also on people with hearing, speech, mental and visual impairment. While working towards SDGs, development of PwDs has to be kept in mind. In generating disaggregated data and conducting inclusive planning, the PwDs must be included. Health system should be made more accessible to PwDs with medicines and services available at the PHCs. Practices of accessible education, health etc. must be collated and presented to policy makers for appropriate action. Recruitment of PwDs may be taken up in various sectors as a matter of policy.

69 Last-mile Outreach 64 MalnutritionandNutritionSecurity Malnutrition and micro nutrient deficiency impacts cognitive ability, productivity and physical growth. This in turn contributes to inequity and injustice as people from disadvantaged communities, caught in the cycle, struggle in perpetual poverty. Nutrition security of the 62 tribal groups and 13 PVTGS inhabiting unreachable areas in Odisha must be attended to. Out of the 570 micro project areas, 100 villages are utterly inaccessible. The discussions in the session on food and nutrition security analyzed various dynamics around the issue. In order to address the last-mile slippage, following interventions can be considered. P o s s i bl e interventions Focus must be on 'food sovereignty' rather than merely on 'food security'. Cooking oil, pulses and salt should also be provided through the PDS. Grain banking should be initiated where food is collected locally and distributed and where grains can be stocked and given in advance. Beneficiaries should be identified through common software where every PDS outlet is linked. Even when people migrate from their places of origin, they should be able to avail of the services. Most places with geographical exclusion are those which are away from mirco project areas. Communication to such places should be undertaken on a priority basis. AWCs must be started in all unreached habitats. E m p l o y t h e AW C w o r k e r f r o m t h e hamlet/village itself. A 'hamlet approach' can be adopted to address geographical remoteness and exclusion by identifying a community care volunteer in the hamlet and channelize available services to the deprived segments of the population. Bringing nutrition agenda to the Gram Sabha and PRIs is crucial. Local planning process and the attention of the PRIs hardly focus on nutrition issues, which needs to be corrected. The women elected representatives can ably work on these issues and produce good results. Chhattisgarh could decrease 20% malnutrition in 5 years through engagement of PRIs. A revenue village based convergence model is required. Nutrition should be made into a priority issue and policy and implementation level convergence initiated among all actors. Innovative means can be employed to reach out to the socially and culturally excluded. For instance, organizing Couples' Meet and 'Shas Bahu Samellan' in Jharkhand has got different sections of society together to discuss issues and enhance horizontal inclusion. Building up communication processes around food and eating habits can create favourable behaviour and practices. Community-based monitoring can also help.

70 Odisha Vikash Gazette 65 AddressingExclusioninWASH While diversity is celebrated in India, the divisions existing in society are often disregarded in programming. It is important to recognize the divisions in the society with regard to caste, economic status, ethnicity, disability, religion, etc. It is mostly people from disadvantaged background who are further deprived of their rights and basic requirements. For example, if one is a Dalit or a tribal, the probability of having access to pipe water is less. In order to make WASH interventions inclusive following aspects need to be addressed. P o s s i bl e interventions Assured treated piped water supply for all; Sanitation for all, including toilets, solid, liquid and waste management; Integrated solution for water, sanitation and hygiene as they are inextricably linked and should be implemented and addressed in an integrated way; Institutional framework must include elected local bodies for planning, managing, O&M with adequate investment for capacity building; Documentation and replication of successful traditional responses of communities; Ensuring water security: not merely distribution and supply but also conservation and source sustainability; Waste management especially in urban areas: it is important to understand and address who cleans the solid waste and transports the waste; the chain should be understood and factored in planning; Independent monitoring of water quality. InnovativeImplementationofProgrammes The 'last-mile' issue can be addressed by innovative and strategic targeting of different schemes/programmes. A few examples were presented and discussed to illustrate the point: P o s s i bl e interventions The Muun bhi padhibi campaign has been launched by the GoO to universalize children' attendance in primary schools. It has been implemented through collaboration of all line departments at State and district level. Participation and support of CSOs has also been enlisted. In Mayurbhanj district, for instance, 5000 child labourers have been rehabilitated and sent back to schools. In Mayurbhanj district, the MGNREGS was linked to massive plantations (mango, cashew, sericulture, rubber, etc.), which helped farmers to increase their income. Farmers were

71 Last-mile Outreach 66 organized as producers' groups; new agricultural practices like intercropping were introduced; and horticulture entrepreneurship was promoted and fruit orchards developed. Thus, MGNREGS not just provided employment, but also took forward other livelihood options. With the farmers having their own production units based on rubber, Sabai grass, etc. and have better income and more negotiating powers. Thus, MGNREGS linked up with several other allied interventions attracted larger and more inclusive labour participation. A critical aspect of the whole initiative is that only the solutions that came from people were taken forward. Multi-ActorSupportandFacilitation As CSOs work in close contact with communities and can address local dynamics and employ innovative solutions, their involvement often improves implementation efficiency. Nearly 20-22% improvement in resolving the last-mile issues is due to the contribution of NGOs. P o s s i bl e interventions Provide communication and other facilities for service providers in the hard to reach areas. Policy level changes needed. Working through SHGs and other community institutions have often been very useful. Hence, promoting social mobilization and community building components is important. Local and District development planning and implementation process can help involve all social groups and harness their efforts. Strengthening the local planning and implementation process starting with PRIs and integrating with the block and district administration would be effective. District and local actors should be given autonomy and authority in programme implementation. Establishing the Odisha CSR Forum can be useful. It will bring in new technology, planning /implementation tools and innovations, and engage varied stakeholders, i.e. school teachers, health workers, etc. in hard to reach areas. CSR outreach needs to include all districts. Convergence among different actors and institutions (corporate, CSO, government, community institutions, etc.) can be a potent means to combine resources and initiatives to remove the impediments.

72 Odisha Vikash Gazette 67 OtherSuggestionsforImprovingLast-mileOutreach All social sector policies must be analyzed from the social exclusion point of view and necessary modifications considered. Unsurveyed places in Odisha need to be identified and surveyed with regard to the status of key facilities and corrective action taken. Dynamics of all forms of exclusion including geographical exclusion should be studied to improve programming and street-level administration. It is necessary to underline that mere access does not fulfill the last mile outreach. It must lead to equitable and sustainable improvement in the given sector. Incentive for millet production and its inclusion in PDS would improve serviceability and outreach of the most important food security intervention of the state government. Depoliticized reading of development is not helpful to understand and address exclusion. It is vital to understand the politics of development and how it leads to inequality and injustice. Data related to target vs. achievement should be displayed in each village for increased accountability and uptake by people. The government directive of shutting down schools with less than 15 enrolled children will t h r o w o u t c h i l d r e n o f v u l n e r a b l e families/communities. It should be urgently reconsidered. CSR should be long-term and sustainable and not work as a compensatory or gap-filling measure. CSR interventions should factor in local culture, knowledge and practice. olic PASKS Last-mile Outreach and Social Inclusion in Basic Services and Livelihoods Intra-state portability of entitlements by migrants(pds, ICDS, education & health etc) should be ensured. Existing assets of people should be converted into productive economic units through MGNREGS and convergence. Government officials should be incentivized to serve in remote areas. Food sovereignty should be promoted as part of food security (MSP to Millets, NTFPs) in rural/tribal areas. Social policies should factor in existing socially divisive and exclusionary practices in different distrits/areas within the state. Effective behavior change communication initiatives should be launched through CSOs and other competent organisations. Multiple disabilities should be addressed in all welfare and development support interventions.

73 68 Conclusion andwayforward Ms. Sneha Mishra welcomed all the participants and guests to the session on 'Way Forward' on 21st September and gave a brief overview of the programme and thematic tracks over two days, which brought up valuable inputs for policy makers, practitioners and corporate agencies. Introducing the Session, Shri Jagadananda underlined the key aspects of the OVC 2016: Climate of Convergence among the three sectors - Government, CSOs and Corporate organizations; Platform built up for informed discussion, analysis and follow-up consultations; Sharing and appreciation of each other's points of view and perceptions: policymakers appreciated challenges and experiences of CSOs; CSOs understood administrative contexts and perspectives and Corporates measured up the development dynamics on the ground; Identification of key issues and priority interventions; Review of selected best practices and innovations in terms of their relevance and impact. SummaryPresentationsonThemeSessions Representatives of thematic tracks presented the key policy asks towards a synthesis of the outputs of the OVC. The policy asks are placed along with details of the deliberations of each theme session.

74 ProjectingaTransformative DevelopmentAgendaforOdisha Odisha Vikash Gazette 69 Prof. Bishnu Mohapatra, Professor, NIAS proposed a framework for preparing a transformative development agenda for the State moving forward in the takeways from the OVC. Seminal ideas were as follows: Post OVC, the Odisha Development Report (ODR) should facilitate debates at various levels and work as a catalyst for preparing the transformative development agenda. While macro-perspectives are important, microlevel issues and concerns should be critically examined. Development should not be narrowed down to only economic development and social equity, justice and the concerns of the person in the last mile must be key focal points for the ODR and the transformative agenda. While it is necessary to be rooted in the context, a careful grasp of the past and an enthusiastic eye on the future vision will be crucial. It would be essential to deliberate on alternative perspectives other than those indicated by the dominant development discourse while determining the development model required for Odisha. Addressby ShriR.Balakrishnan,IAS, DevelopmentCommissioner,Odisha Shri Balakrishnan congratulated the organizers and participants of the OVC 2016 and asserted that the Government of Odisha will support to take the process forward. He assured of a special interaction between key departments and the OVC representatives on key recommendations and policy asks. He underlined the importance of convergence and a multi-stakeholder approach and said that the Planning and Convergence Department works to minimize duplication and hasten the process of development. He pointed out the challenges faced by the state in dealing with villages located in remote areas. He informed that the state government has embarked upon connecting the unconnected, and such hamlets and villages will be identified through the ORSAC and given top priority. He mentioned the dichotomy in growth at present where the GDP rate is high but

75 Conclusion and Way Forward 70 equity and distributive justice lag behind. Many people are left behind in this process, who should be identified and served. He suggested that the paradigm and yardstick for developing the underdeveloped areas and communities should be different. Speaking on food and nutrition security, Shri Balakrishnan said that the state is now considering promotion of indigenous grains like millets through a Millet Mission. Reforms in programmes such as the ITDA and MADA for development of STs are also ConcludingAddressby ShriDebiPrasadMishra, Minister,DepartmentofSchool &MassEducation&Industries, Govt.ofOdisha being considered. He added that the state government is bringing out a vision document on completion of 100 years of Odisha State which would articulate the development goals of the State. Stressing the significance of people's participation and ownership in government programmes, he said that the state budget would now consider the opinion and response from common people. He concluded by saying that development solutions should be home grown and designed in consultation with people. The Minister highlighted the progress made by the State in key social sectors like health and agriculture. He expressed concern that eight development schemes have been delinked from Central Govt. funding after the 14th Finance Commission recommendations. Shri Mishra emphasized the importance of local indigenous resources and learnings. Documenting traditional wisdom with regard to various development practices and preserving local culture and participation of community is vital, he noted. He called for convergence within and among departments to holistically address problems. Desired o u t c o m e s a r e n o t h a p p e n i n g b e c a u s e o f compartmentalized approach, he said. He looked forward to sharing of the outcomes of the Odisha Vikash Conclave 2016 with both the state government and the NITI Aayog so that a convergent approach could be adopted to address development challenges in Odisha. Vote of Thanks and Conclusion While moving the vote of thanks, Shri Prashanta Hota, Convener, CSR Panel, CII Odisha, Executive Vice President - Group Head CSR & Education, and Head-Odisha Corporate Communications requested the state government to play the role of a mentor in an inclusive and multi-stakeholder effort and suggested that a long-term development strategy be chalked out involving the government, CSOs, corporates and community representatives. He said that the industry and CSOs formally interacted with each other for the first time in the OVC and they will work together and take it forward. With the vote of thanks, the OVC 2016 concluded.
